Great Japanese food and beer at good prices. Soups are great and noodles are very tasty. Very friendly staff ! Will be back

Layla

Was really excited to try some good ramen , the place looks great and the service is friendly . However the food did let us down a little, the ramen was just fine and the donburi a bit plain... :(

The original Ichiban which opened its doors in June 1998, was quickly followed by a sister branch in the west-end of the the city in 2002.

Go for one of their blooming teas . Both delicious and visually stunning ???? ????

Chris Meechan

The chicken katsu was overdone, the tempura a bit bland although the beef skewers were tasty. Pickled Ginger is still the sushi restaurant to beat in Glasgow.

Love this place! I had a hand in the original branding and design way back when the two ichiban's first opened in Glasgow

Really cool Japanese restaurant with a lot of options beyond sushi and a nice lunch menu bundle

Heather Smart

Best and most cheap Sushi bar in Glasgow city . Casual Japanese place, not to busy and not to quiet . I just love it here!

Rain Storms

Good ramen but not the best in Glasgow. Gyoza were small and deep fried to crisp nothing left of them. Service very good and restaurant is clean and well looked after.

Yannick Block

Really great ramen and chilis. Also the teas are very delicious and look cool!

Yulia Ovcharova

Amazing salmon sushi . Portions are very generous in size. Loved the friendly staff there.

Eliani Ezani

Had fried rice (lunch deal ), no wow factor I would say. Salmon sushi not that fresh. Will try their udon in my next visit, perhaps?

The place (a 6-story building)is really nice, with different screen sizes, the middle of which is similar to those in Dubai Mall. I tried different cinemas accross Europe. By far Cineworld is the best - Saud Alghizzi
